Bomb threat closes BC NDP campaign office briefly in Campbell River on Friday

The BC NDP campaign office in Campbell River was closed temporarily on Friday while police investigated a bomb threat.

RCMP say the threat was made against the campaign office for candidate Michele Babchuk, and out of an abundance of caution, the office was shut down for a short time. However, on investigation, they determined the threat was not credible and there was no danger to the public, and it was re-opened.

Vista Radio has reached out to the BC NDP campaign office for more information. According to a report from CityNews Vancouver, a party spokesperson says the Campbell River campaign office received the bomb threat on Friday afternoon.
